After the death of Merenptah , trouble over the succession broke out , as although the next king , Sety II (1200-1194 B . C) , was almost certainly the eldest son of Merenptah , a rival king Amenmessu ruled for a few years at least in the south of the country . When exactly this happened is still a matter of dispute: it has been suggested that Amenmessu deposed Sety II for some time between Sety II's 3rd and 5th year of regency , but others have the trouble set in at the beginning of the reign . Whatever the truth may be , Sety II erased and usurped all of Amenmessu's cartouches and later texts refer to the rival ruler as 'the Enemy' .
